Index to Greece Historic Election List Archives - PART 1

The digital collections of the Greek State Archives offer a wealth of information to those of us interested in Greek genealogy. As part of their online collection is the "Election Material From the Collection of Vlachoyiannis" . This includes "General Election Lists" for each Municipality; recorded by community (city, village, settlement, etc.).

I am in the process of translating these pages to make them available in both Greek and English.

In order to make it easier for everyone, I have listed below all of the materials included in the section of the Greek State Archives entitled "ELECTION MATERIAL FROM THE COLLECTION OF VLACHOYIANNIS (1864-1925)"

I have indicated whether translations are COMPLETE along with a link for viewing.

I HAVE OFFERED TO PRIORITIZE TRANSLATIONS of villages that are of interest to those of you who are interested in researching your Greek family history. Please feel free to post a comment at the end of this page, being SPECIFIC ABOUT THE VILLAGE you are interested in, ALONG WITH THE MUNICIPALITY AND REGION. I will work to translate the areas requested as soon as I can.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Part 2 of the General Election List Indexes have just been posted. It includes the Region of Laconia. I don't see a village named Anavriti, but many names changed since the late 1800's. Here is the link - http://hellenicgenealogygeek.blogspot.com/p/part-1-index-to-greece-historic.html

HI am trying to trace am ancestor who we believe lived in Andros. Unfortunately I have no idea where on the island and I see none of the villages have been translated. I can read Greek so even just copies of original records would be great to go through. Really appreciate what you are doing, long may it continue.

Hey. I am trying to find information about my Yaya and Pappous. My Yaya, Anna (Maybe Votsis) was from Prine in Rethymnon district. My Pappous (Dimitris Charissakis -But maybe when he was a boy his name was different / last name) is from Kali Sukia also in Rethymnon district. They lived in the villages around 1920-1940 - My pappous' family was all slughtered in a cretan vendetta around the years 20-30 and he was sent, as a small boy, to the moni Previli to grow up with his uncle who was a monk there. He later moved to Athens - Whith my yaya and he was lucky to get a job in a bank around 40-70. As far as I know they lived in Pireus. Do you have any ideas where to look for information - I went to the moni Previli this summer: They didnt record any information because they has so many people living there at that time so it was an impossible task. And the village of Kali Sukia: The people I met remembered a little about the family - But no one wants to talk about what happened there - I think maybe the other family still lives there or maybe they are afraid of recalling bad memories. If you can help in any way, you have no idea how much joy you will bring me.

Anna - you will get the best results by posting all of this information on the Hellenic Genealogy Geek facebook group.
